In a much better interview than had been done by Kathie Lee on the Today Show last week, tonight’s Nightline interview with Dooce was witty, clever, and informative. Here is a video clip of the full segment on Nightline…

Fibromyalgia: An Invisible Disease? — by Catherine Morgan (cross-posted at BlogHer)
I try not to be a complainer, but last week I was seriously not feeling well. I actually resorted to sending a message to the other women in my community to ask for help (and I’ve never done that before).
I thought I would take tonight’s post to talk about what was wrong with me last week, because I know many women are suffering with the same problem.
The good news is, I finally found a doctor in Florida that believes in my diagnosis. I was only changing doctors because I needed someone closer, I had long since given up on finding a doctor that actually understood or had compassion for my condition. So, you can imaging my shock when I went in for my initial appointment, and the doctor told me that not only did he understand what was wrong with me, but he wrote the book, literally. Can you believe it? What are the chances of that happening? I have to admit, my first thought was…This guy can not be from Florida.

I think we probably have all suffered from some degree of emotional health issues in our lives.
Whenever someone talks to me about feeling depressed or anxious, the first thing I say to them is…you are not alone. We’ve all been there in some way or another. I also think that acknowledging you have a problem is half the battle. And that doesn’t make you “insane” or “crazy”. Really…How many “crazy” people realize they’re crazy? I think the most sane thing a person can do is admit they are feeling depressed or anxious, and reach out for help.
The Internet is a great place to get information, and there are a lot of sites with articles on dealing with stress and anxiety.
